Not overly helpful book. The author spends a lot of the book talking about painfully obvious ways of saving money (turn lights off when you leave a room, don't buy expensive consumer goods on credit you can't afford, etc). The rest of the book is very America-specific (saving to send children to college, the ins-and-outs of the USA tax system etc). Would be good for people needing very basic money advice, or people in the States, but otherwise not very useful.
